TvP: m&m + ghosts and (maybe) 1 or 2 vessels. The idea: - Secure your natural earlyish either by a push or by some siege expo opening maybe. - get 2 gas fairly fast. itll naturally stockpile since you are going m&m. the idea is basically like bio TvZ except u use all the gas you would on 2 starport 1fact on ghosts instead!! How to deal with HTs and Reavers - ghosts snipe HTs/shuttles/reavers from long range. - lockdown shuttle with cloak before battle, stuff like that. - Scan + kill obs fast and kill HTs/reavers - use EMP to hit HTs. - maybe flare obs constantly to force him to spend more gas on obs! equals less HTs/reavers. You can actually get an insane amount of ghosts, it's quite fun. | ||

rush to arbiter and have corsairs to to kill overlords while you have a big mass of invisibility raping shit. COULD start off with corsair reaver and then transition into this. Recall to deal with campers and stasis to deal with clumps of ultras. Play PvZ like PvT excepts with lots of corsairs. Sounds very gas demanding. | ||

Overpool speedling, make 6-8 lings (This is assuming he went FE; make him get atleast 2 cannons). Make 2nd hat as normal and as soon as his probe is dead put drones back on gas and go for a fast den. Upgrade range and use your speedlings to stop him from scouting. Get ~6-7 hydra, then upgrade to lair immediately. Use hydra to kill his forge, he will make mad cannons at front then tech to spire and muta his main. Dunno, havent tried it on B and up but, it seems to work vs B- and below. Can you give it a shot at higher levels perhaps?? | ||

REVERSE SIM CITY! Build your first pylon, forge, gateway, and two cannons at the Z's natural. Put a Nexus there if you want, or just put a second gateway where the Nexus would be This was in one of the replays here on Blue storm and Toss ended up winning http://www.teamliquid.net/replay/download.php?replay=1201 | ||

Open with a 2 port wraith and tech cloak. Then make a bunch of medics (no rines), and tech Optic flare. Go to your opponent's base with your cloaked wraiths and medics and start harrassing. Every time your opponent brings an observer/overlord to uncloak you, Optic Flare it! Repeat till you've won! Or better yet, tech nukes, and rush with medics to make sure they wont uncover your cloaked ghost once he fires the nuke :D. Just hope they don't have ground detectors, hehe. | ||

zvt/zvp, playing standard with hydra/muta/lurker depending on mu/map/your style, but getting ensnare and queens same time as 3rd gas with the sole purpose of hiding a queen near his main/nat (and third if applicable) to regularly and repeatedly on intervals of 75 mana to ensnare his miners. pvz fast fleet beacon (after 2nd or 3rd base) combined with 5+ sairs for fast dweb to fuck up his lurker/hydra in battle (desti/hbr z tend to be more aggressiev with hydra) and/or to fuck up the mass lurker/sunk/spore at an expo when z is turtling (fighting spirit, 3/9 of desti). pvz, focus on mcing a drone sometime to either make a lot of drone to make offensive sunks on his creep, or to be used in securing expos through mass sunk/spore/lurk and make z taste his own medicine. | ||

Bonus points if you never build more than one gateway. Is that supposed to be a joke? ._. That's how sair/reaver was basically always played until Bisu standardized reaver opening into fast normal ground, or so. A lot of arcadia and azalea pvzs played out like this. | ||

Works probably well on Colosseum or on maps that have back naturals. But watch out for DT Rushes, 4 gates won't be a problem if you have Bisu probes. I tried this way back with my friends but the only reason it worked was because of their bad decision making and control. | ||

So I would be really impressed if this feat could be pulled off on iccup. So there ya go - Try to win ZvP on Iccup with drones + scourge only (might add a defiler if he is too heavy on cannons). | ||
